Things I learned last night

Pretty good battle last night in St. Pete, as the Phillies took Game 1 of the World Series 3-2 over the Rays. The game mostly consisted of each team getting into, then out of, big jams. There could have been a lot more run out put. Some might say it was nerves, but that would take away from the excellent performances by Scott Kazmir and Cole Hamels. Hamels moves to 4-0 this postseason, and the Phils take one on the road. My prediction of J-Roll for MVP hasnt gotten off to such a good start though (0-5, 2 K's). Chase Utley hit a first inning home run, and the Phils added another in the 4th. Hamels made sure that stood up, despite some tough situations, then handed the ball over the Madson and Lidge, who slammed the door. Good game overall in my opinion.

I noticed two lookalikes in this game that I'd like to bring to your attention. Am I way off? Check out the pictures and be the judge.

Phillies Right Fielder Jayson Werth, and the WWE's Rated R Superstar Edge. Werth's hair has grown a bit since this photo, so maybe that's what tipped me off while watching last night, but I thought that it was pretty valid.

Now this one, I was very surprised by, but man..to me, Rays 2B Akinori Iwamura looks a LOT like our own Opening Day starter Ian Snell. I never thought I'd see the day where I'd say that a Japanese man looks like an African American, but look if you put a Pirates jersey over that Japan one, I dont think I'd be able to tell a difference right off the bat...

More to come later today. World Series game 2 tonight!
